Dairy-Free Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Sauce

30 min

Ingredients

  • 2 large roasted red peppers, peeled
  • 1/2 cup canned white beans, rinsed
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Blend roasted peppers, white beans, garlic, olive oil and broth until smooth.

  2. 2

    Pour into a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer.

  3. 3

    Stir in smoked paprika and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Toss with hot pasta, adding pasta water if needed.

Helpful notes

  • White beans add body without making the sauce taste strongly of beans.
  • Use jarred roasted peppers for a faster version; drain them well first.

Serve with penne, fusilli or spaghetti. Add parsley or basil before serving.

Storage

Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
